You Let Your Figure Go
One of the first signs you have let go of your appearance is that your figure has changed, maybe even drastically. This is easy enough to do. Sometimes we just become complacent and tend to overlook taking care of ourselves. Thankfully, there are things that you can do to get back on track. Start watching what you eat and exercising again. Soon enough your old figure will be making a return appearance.

You Don’t Wear Makeup like You Once Did
You can certainly be a true beauty without makeup but if you once wore makeup and don’t any longer, is it because you have let go of your appearance? Maybe it just seems too much of an effort. Perhaps you just don’t feel you have time for makeup application with small children or a demanding career. You can change this. You don’t even have to go back to your old makeup routine if you don’t want to. Try finding a five minute makeup routine that works for you in your life now.
Opting for a no-makeup look might be a conscious lifestyle choice, and that's perfectly fine! But if skipping makeup is due to neglect rather than preference, it’s worth reconsidering. Self-care is not vanity; it's respecting yourself and your body. Makeup isn't essential, but the act of primping can be a form of self-love. A touch of mascara and a swipe of lip gloss might be all you need to feel polished. Remember, it’s not just about the makeup; it’s about taking a moment for yourself.

You Don’t Put Any Effort into Your Hair
Has the messy bun become your normal, daily hairstyle? Most of us are guilty of clipping our hair up out of our face sometimes but if you rarely ever take time to style it and you once did, maybe you have let your appearance go a little. Look back on some pictures of yourself before the messy bun was your norm. Do you miss your old styles? If you do, you can try putting a bit more effort into styling your hair again.
Embrace the change! A fresh hairdo can work wonders, not just for your looks, but for your self-esteem too. Maybe it's time to indulge in a hair treatment or visit the salon for a cut that makes you feel fabulous. Remember, how you wear your hair speaks volumes about you. Putting that little bit of extra effort into your tresses can reignite that spark of self-care and confidence. It's not just about vanity, but about taking a moment for yourself to feel put-together and ready to face the world with your head held high.

You Find Yourself in Slouchy Clothes More Often than Not
Yoga pants are a trap, ladies. Once you get used to the comfort of them, it is hard to go back to other clothing. I have had to fight this trap myself. But we are all worth the effort it takes to look nice. Take the time and put in the effort needed to dress nicely.
While comfort is key, remember that what we wear often reflects how we feel about ourselves. Slipping into those slouchy clothes day after day might be sending a signal that you're not prioritizing your self-image. A polished look doesn't mean discomfort. There are plenty of stylish yet comfortable options out there that elevate your appearance without sacrificing ease. Think of dressing nicely as a form of self-care—it boosts your confidence and helps you present your best self to the world. It's about striking that perfect balance between feeling good and looking great.

You Don’t Take Pride in Yourself

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
You Don’t Work out like You Once Did
Exercise is something that can easily fall by the wayside when life gets busy. It is hard to make time for everything as your life changes and your responsibilities increase. You just have to make a decision to make yourself a priority. You will find that other things do find a way to fall in place around time for exercise. Your health and your appearance are absolutely worth the time and effort it takes to get a workout in.
